Jenni Hermoso attends the Ballon d’Or gala in Paris to succeed Vinícius

If the men’s Ballon d’Or seems destined for Vinícius Júnior, a Brazilian player for Real Madrid, and the awards for the best player of the course and the best footballer under 21 years of age (Kopa Trophy) have a blue color, with Aitana Bonmatí and Lamine Yamal As top favorites, the Socrates award seems destined this year for Jenni Hermoso.

Also in the categories such as best club, best men’s football coach and best women’s football coach could fall to Spanish teams and athletes, with Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso or Jonatan Giráldez in the first places of all bets.

Commitment to society

The award named after the legendary Brazilian footballer was created in 2022 to recognize the exceptional commitment of some footballers in building a more just and inclusive societyrewarding their humanitarian and social work around the world.

In the first edition it went to Liverpool’s Senegalese Sadio Mané, while last year it fell precisely to Vinícius Júnior, favorite this Monday to win the main trophy.

For its third edition, the bets place Socrates as a great favorite over the Spanish international Jenni Hermosoone of the main representatives of the #Seacabó campaign, which arose after what happened at the awards ceremony of the last World Cup, when the soccer player received a non-consensual kiss from the then president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales , which caused a cataclysm in Spanish football and had a global impact.

If he finally achieves it and the predictions are met in other categories, this Monday night’s gala at the Parisian Chatelet theater could be the culmination of a great season for Spanish football.
